About the recording function, in WinCE based mobile there are some third-party applications to support this. So is in palm OS based mobile. I have being searching for an open-source one, but haven't got any. Would you please give some suggestion? Thanks.

One listed feature is DTMF support, should this be a hardware feature and given support by hardware or we should implement by software in Dialer?

A: This is supported by Ti. We just need to impliment the UI. Please read this spec if you want more information. I'm going to write more details for this feature within the next few days.

Q1: I think this design should be closely combined with the hardware button design. Some feature can be called or completed by directly press the hardware buttons. For example, call the history, or call directly from the current input by pressing the green call button. such as the nokia cell phones.

Michael 'Mickey' Lauer: We don't have any hardware buttons except a power button and a "phone" button. As mentioned in Look & Feel, the "phone" button calls the dialer on 'tap'.

AlexQ: In old specification (Call Handler Application Specification v0.2), there is another mode called "In Call", both of the Incoming and Outgoing mode will switch to "In Call Mode" after taken some action. However, call handler application is not listed in the Application Page now. Does this mode won't need any more or there will be other countermeasures? Thanks.

I'm planning on designing the Panel Applications to reflect their status. For example, if the GPS connection is off, the GPS Connection Status will show a red X (or something like this) through it.

Q2:So 'Profile Setting' should be an application. It will allow user to select the ring volume or vibrate or not.

Profiles are a huge part of this phone. We've started to define this part but it's not complete yet. Please see Profiles.

A: From the view of a developer, I care more about the effects of the current profile on the applications. That is, we have to make clear which one or which part of one will be affected by the current profile settings.

( Sean Moss-Pultz)
Agreed. We will provide a common interface for all applications to know the state of the current profile.,

A: It does make sense. One reason is the dialer session can only maintain a certain number of history records (i.e normally 10~20). New number will update the dialer session and the older ones will get lost. Another reason, i think, next time you redial this number, you would possibly forget what number is for whom, so saving into the phonebook will relate the number with a name, you can redial it from the contact.

A: Current phones do not support 'speaker' before connection established. I wish my mobile has such feature to allow me hear the event of connection establishment. A wish only, we can talk about it later.
